FRANKLIN, Pa. (EYT) — Fans of Discovery Channel’s “Moonshiners” will have the chance to meet star Tim Smith on Saturday, May 9, at a fundraiser hosted by Liberty Galleria in Franklin.

Smith, a modern day bootlegger, will be available from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. to sign autographs and take pictures with fans.

Those attending will also have the opportunity to purchase merchandise including t-shirts and hats.

Liberty Galleria was created over five years ago with the help of the Franklin Area Chamber of Commerce, FICDA, as well as the City of Franklin as a retail incubator to help new and small businesses get their start in retail or help established businesses open a second location.
